You don't see these everyday. Not sure where prices have gone lately, but this seems not too crazy:
Vintage Campagnolo C-Record High Flange Sheriff Star Hubs Road Bike Wheel Set | eBay

Bought these on auction a couple of months ago.

Fortunately these fully equipped models seem to have some kind of built in protection from being defiled as I have seen many that were unmolested. I think it has to do with the integrated rack/fender assembly that most hackers are somehow smart enough too leave alone, at that point they leave it all as is. I also believe that the owners of these have a better appreciation for them and protect them from harm to a certain degree. imho 
(It's funny, I started trolling Craigslist because I was looking for a used bike for my girlfriend. I found one and bought it--a practical 3-speed commuter--but now I've discovered this site and I can't stop looking at vintage bikes.)

I passed on an original one (same color, but this looks like a 22" frame) for $200 many years ago. Parts on the original weren't that fancy so this one, while not original, is not defiled in the worst way imaginable and probably has some changes you'd have made to it had it been yours.
Would love to have the frame for my wife.

So it wasn't mostly Campy, I have seen a few of these that were full on and gorgeous. One at Eroica and it was awesome.

I don't know the specs of the line at that time, but I know Campy was available at extra cost at times; you could pay extra for Campy brakes on a Paramount that was otherwise all Campy. The ladies' Paramount that I saw had, I believe, Shimano Crane rear derailleur, Nervar crank and had centerpulls like the one pictured above. It might have had Campy hubs but not much else. The one you saw at Eroica might have had the Campy retrofitted. I'd be surprised if a stepthrough came that way but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will let us know for sure.

So according to the googlesphere and as I thought/remembered the 73,4,and 5 Schwinn catalogs show the ladies Paramount being full Campy save for the brakes and the rear derailleur on the 15 speed deluxe touring model being the Crane long cage/Schwinn approved GT300. Campy brakes were optional and all of this holds mostly true for the men's models as well. Like I said, imho the subject in question has been defiled and rather poorly so.
Also, the one I saw at Eroica was original, with provenance on loan for the ride to see if the woman wanted to own a very cool piece of cycling history as it was in very good full functioning condition. I would be willing to bet she owns that Paramount now, she was thrilled with it and I did my best to bolster her feelings as I love these and can't wait to find my wife one.

Anyone looking for a 60s Raleigh three speed?
I don't want a men's model and don't really prefer the blue, but it's still tempting at $40.

Serotta - Auction Buffalo
This is not a make I know of - and I'm broke even if I did....
I can't tell much from the photo but thought I'd share. Per the ad "High end bicycles (Serotta, Specialized, Stumpjumper) plus lots of bike parts" so may not be a deal as they have taken time to google the names

I get into this mode of wanting to save all the bike orphans, which of course I can't do.

Thanks Bianchigirl, I always learn something new from your posts. 
There are two pair of the exact same pedals you mentioned sitting on my shelf in the shop, but I'm leaning more towards some nice alloy platforms on this bike. I never really liked the fumble-footed starts from a red-light, trying to clip-in on one side only. This bike feels "intuitive", and you are spot-on about that frame; it feels light and tight, yet still soaks up the bumps much like the Ishiwata 024 on my Ross. So I want to be able to engage the drivetrain intuitively too. I'll revisit SPD if I ever decide to take it touring.

Look at this beautiful yellow Fuji. I know it wasn't high end, and all, but it sure is appealing. Leather saddle and new tires.
